Abstract

Neuromatch Academy designed and ran a fully online 3-week Computational\nNeuroscience summer school for 1757 students with 191 teaching assistants\nworking in virtual inverted (or flipped) classrooms and on small group\nprojects. Fourteen languages, active community management, and low cost allowed\nfor an unprecedented level of inclusivity and universal accessibility.\n
